PROLOG
Kemang, a popular area in South Jakarta which is always the destination for hangouts. Kemang area is already famous for areas that have higher prices for places to eat compared to other regions. Although classified as expensive, the Kemang area is a strategic area for a dining business.
Various places to eat with various interesting concepts are also available in the Kemang area, with a variety of traditional to international dishes.
But the most important, and always a question, is there a cheap but amazing place to eat, with a dish that doesn't disappoint?
The answer, of course there is! I will introduce you to a cafe in the Kemang area, at a cheap price, but the dish actually has an amazing taste.
Sang Cafe
Sang Cafe is a cafe with a coffee shop concept that has traditional Indonesian nuances, with a touch of modern design.
Sang Cafe, which is located on Kemang Raya Selatan Street, 110, South Jakarta--for me, is quite impressive because the food and coffee served cannot be forgotten.
The word "Sang" in Indonesian means the call used for something that is glorified and considered to be alive. This indirectly wants to show that "Sang Cafe" wants to always be considered alive in the hearts of customers with a taste and price that does not disappoint.

The Atmosphere
Sang Cafe has a minimalist design to accentuate the impression of being clean and modern. The accessories used in the room are identical to Indonesian culture, such as paintings on walls that display the daily activities of traditional Indonesian society.
The arrangement of the room resembles a family room and dining room in a house, so it feels comfortable. Tables have an elongated shape like those in a family room that emphasizes the feeling of being together.
Hanging lamps placed in the bar area to give the impression of luxury, like a welcome greeting.
Ornaments on the floor are similar to ornaments that usually exist in Indonesian occupancy.
There is also an outdoor area with green space like a backyard. But during the day it will feel hot so if customers should only choose this place at night, or just for smoking.
Watching A Film Together at Sang Cafe
Every Friday night, Sang Cafe also holds a watching event starting at 8 PM. Visitors can give input on what films to play.
My Experience
I'm curious about the taste of Aglio Olio Tuna, because the price offered at this place is half the price compared to other places around here.
In my opinion the color of Aglio Olio Tuna is pretty good, even though it looks ordinary without something special. The slices of tuna as pasta stuff are really look a lot and it makes the food taste good!
Pasta, but Indonesian taste, so it feels right on my tongue. I think Sang Cafe uses Indonesian spices, so it tastes strong, even though it uses the main ingredients of pasta. A brilliant mix of cheap dishes but tastes delicious!
Then, I ordered Fresh Orange to refresh my dining atmosphere. It is quite refreshing.
Coffee Time!
After eating, as usual I did not go home for quickly, when I found a comfortable place. I took out my laptop and ordered my favorite Vanilla Latte.
The Vanilla Latte served by Sang Cafe is quite satisfying with a strong flavor. Enough to maintain my mood while writing the next few hours.
Btw, even though Sang Cafe was crowded with visitors, it didn't seem noisy so I wasn't disturbed at all. The photos I took looked quiet because I took photos when the customers started to go home, and this place will close soon.
Conclusion
You are looking for a place to hangout in the Kemang area, South Jakarta with a cheap but fabulous taste and atmosphere? Then, Sang Cafe is the right choice.
Sang Cafe offers a comfortable atmosphere, with the feel of hospitality of the Indonesian people, with dishes that will not disappoint.
I favored Aglio Olio Tuna which tastes rich in spices. I recommend this menu for those of you who want to visit Sang Cafe.
